Get Your Students Hired
I think that after going through this course, and with New Year's coming up, I plan on finding better and more efficient coping mechanisms that I would like to have a partner with. For example, get a workout buddy, a walk to get some lunch buddy, a lets take 10-15 minutes to stretch buddy, and maybe even a let me vent to you real quick buddy. I would say that I do not do these activities enough myself and sharing the stress relief and time could possibly make it a bit more fun.
That's a great idea! I have a coworkers with whom I often share, which really helps me to reduce my stress. We are really careful not to just turn it into a negative complaining session, and we are able to help each other figure out ways to deal with our stress.
Rebecca, That must be a wonderful forum for idea exchange. When we are able to connect with others like us, who experience similar stress, we often discover new techniques for managing through our work and personal lives.

Twice a month we have a faculty meeting and are able to share ideas on what has worked and what is just putting more stress on us. We are able to leave these meeting with some very helpful tips and stress free lessons
Sharing your load of stress on to another person thats able to handle it is a great idea! It helps you face just one more day and to me thats caring
Robert, Yes, having someone to share the load with can certainly help. It's important to find someone who you trust and who you can count on. Having those kinds of people in your life can make all the difference.

Sharing the work out helps keep the drive alive, especially on a day when you are not motivated or are "stressing".
A partner is a great idea. the effects may be both mentally and physically beneficial
